Update a shared link without changing the URL.

A file you share is rarely final. A pitch deck gains a slide, a mockup gets a round of feedback, an export from an AI tool goes through three revisions before anyone else sees it. On most hosts that means uploading the new file, getting a new URL, and chasing down everyone you sent the old one to. NudgeHost keeps the URL fixed. Open the file in your dashboard, go to its settings, click Replace file, and drop in the new version. The link does not move.

This matters most for the things people iterate on fastest. When you host a Claude artifact, the model often rebuilds it twice before you are happy with the result, and updating in place means you publish once and keep refining behind the same address. The same is true any time you publish an HTML page for a prototype a client is reviewing. You send one link at the start of the project and push new versions to it as the work changes, instead of flooding an inbox with v2, v3, and final-final URLs.

The distinction worth understanding is between replacing a file and uploading a fresh one. Replacing keeps the slug, the view history, and any password or expiry you set. Uploading a new file creates a brand-new link, and the old one keeps serving the stale version until you delete it. Deleting the old link then strands anyone still holding it, which is the broken-link problem that 404 errors describes. Replace-in-place sidesteps all of it.

Job seekers feel this the most. If you get your portfolio in front of a recruiter and then tighten a case study the night before an interview, the recruiter opens the same link and sees the improved version with no second email from you. Updating a file is free and unlimited on every plan, so the pricing page only enters the picture when you want a custom domain or more active links, not for the swap itself.
